Last week, we celebrated Dr. Mary Brunkow's Nobel Prize (The Nobel Prize) in Physiology or Medicine — today, we invite you to get to know the scientist and the person behind the breakthrough. Dr. Brunkow’s journey from studying cell and molecular biology at the University of Washington to earning her PhD at Princeton and now leading pioneering research at the Institute for Systems Biology, is a story of curiosity, collaboration and perseverance. Her work on regulatory T cells transformed our understanding of immune tolerance — but what stands out most is her passion for discovery and her belief that science is a collective endeavor. Take a moment to explore her story and learn more about the path that led to her Nobel-winning discovery: http://ms.spr.ly/6042sN7ra 👏 Join us in celebrating not only her achievement, but the dedication and vision that make breakthroughs like this possible. #NobelPrize Institute for Systems Biology (ISB)

🕊️ We believe whole-person care includes the spirit. We’re inspired by the The Catholic Health Association of the United States' new initiative to help ministries strengthen and evolve spiritual care across the continuum of health. As the role of chaplains expands beyond the bedside—to clinics, virtual care and caregiver support—this work is essential to sustaining the heart of our Mission. "We need to make sure all our patients — and especially those who are poor and vulnerable — get the spiritual care interventions they need to flourish," says Theresa Vithayathil Edmonson, vice president of spiritual health at Providence and member of CHA's Spiritual/Pastoral Care Advisory Council. We’re proud to join others across Catholic health care in advancing spiritual care as a core part of healing. Together, we’re ensuring that compassion, presence and hope, remain at the center of every patient and caregiver experience.

We continue to celebrate Nobel Prize recipient Dr. Mary Brunkow's incredible contributions to medicine and her unwavering dedication to improving health worldwide. As a former research fellow, Chief Physician Executive and Chief Executive at Providence Clinical Network, Dr. Susan Huang studied the role of regulatory T cells in cancers to better understand the mechanisms of tumor immune evasion — research that builds upon the foundational discoveries of Dr. Brunkow and colleagues. In Dr. Huang’s own words: “It was on Dr. Brunkow and colleagues’ shoulders that I stood.” 👉 Read more about Dr. Huang’s reflections and journey in her recent post: http://ms.spr.ly/6044s0iZK #NobelPrize #Research #Medicine #ISB #Immunology #Science

How do you find out you've won a Nobel Prize? For Dr. Mary Brunkow, from the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB), part of the Providence family of organizations, the moment was as unforgettable as the honor itself.

During a recent performance by comedian Drew Lynch, a man in the audience suffered a heart attack—an event that could have turned tragic. But what followed was extraordinary: complete strangers sprang into action, performing CPR and coordinating emergency support until help arrived. Once the patient, Dick Wende, arrived at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, Wash., Lynch showed up in person to offer support... and finish his set. These moments, captured on video and shared widely, are a powerful reminder of how quickly life can change—and how compassion and courage can emerge in the most unexpected places. Stories like this remind us that health emergencies don’t wait for ideal circumstances—they happen in real life, in real time.
